To Senator Ted Cruz: What Are the Charges Against Americans in ISIS?

-Ron Paul

Sen. Ted Cruz is annoyed with the Islamic State, as, I assume, are all Americans. He and other Republicans want to cancel the passports and strip the citizenship of anyone who joins the Islamic militants in Iraq and Syria.

Cruz said, “We should not permit them to return to America.” Those joining a violent group would automatically lose all of their rights as Americans citizens and are to be labeled traitors. Maybe so, or maybe not, but the constitution speaks to the serious nature of convicting an American citizen of treason.
